Title: Coded solid state entry device
Inventor: MOORHOUSE JOHN HURLEY
IPC: E05B49/00
Filed: 1981-12-14
Abstract: A coded key operated solid state access system for a controlled access to a multiplicity of electronic circuits by the use of correspondingly coded keys comprises a detection and monitoring system which is activated by the insertion into a keyway of one of the coded keys. On insertion the key 66 successively engages a plurality of switches 122, 123, 124, which enable a time for a first timed interval of key insertion, which energize a circuit to unlatch normally latched tumblers 25-28 and which upon rotation by the key to the extent of the code of the key enable optic coupling circuit sensors 75, 77 to read the code of the tumblers. The optic coupler circuit interfaces with a comparator which functions to match the code read from the tumblers with a corresponding coded electronic circuit. If the code is not matched with a corresponding circuit, the first timed interval of the timer will expire and the the tumblers and the key will become locked up. If the code is matched to a circuit access is achieved and the timer circuit is reset for another interval of time to allow for withdrawal of the key. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1982-03-04
Abstract: A process for recovering or concentrating Zn and Pb from primary or secondary raw materials, admixed with coal, the coal being partially burnt to produce CO, is carried out in two stages, during the first of which there is direct reduction of the material due to the effect of the coal and volatilization of zinc and of lead oxide, whereas in the second stage there is an oxidation in the vapour phase of the zinc produced in the first stage by the action of air and/or oxygen. An apparatus for carrying out the process is a reactor having a frustoconical outline and comprising a metal casing (2) internally lined with a refractory material (3) and rotated about its geometrically arranged vertical axis (1), the reactor being equipped with a bottom drain hole (5), for liquid material. <IMAGE>

Title: Detecting particles in flowing fluids
Inventor: ORPET EDWARD GEORGE
IPC: G01V3/11
Filed: 1982-05-18
Abstract: Apparatus for detecting passage of ferromagnetic particles along an oil- flow line (2) of an engine has a particle sensor (4) provided by two inductive coils (40, 41) spaced apart from one another along the flow-line. Passage of a particle through the coils (40, 41) changes their inductances, this change being used to count the number of particles. Small particles, that would not otherwise be detected by the sensor (4), are collected upstream of the sensor by an electromagnet (3) that projects within the oil flow-line. When the output of the sensor (4) indicates that a measurable quantity of particles may have been collected by the electromagnet, energisation is terminated and the particles released, as a batch, to the sensor so as to provide a count. Alternatively the particles may be released after `predetermined intervals, or in response to a predetermined inductance of the magnet coil (32). <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2138235-A (GB)
Title: Computed tomography apparatus
Inventor: FAIRBAIRN IAN ANTHONY
IPC: A61B6/03
Filed: 1983-04-05
Abstract: In fan-beam computed tomography apparatus, timing reference pulses, normally occurring at intervals t, for data transfer and reset of the many integrators (approx. 500) in the signal path from the detector array 10, are generated from the scan displacement, e.g. using a graticule 19 and optical sensor 20, to relate the measurement paths geometrically to the body section 1. Sometimes, a slow scan rate (e.g. selected by a switch 33) is required to provide a time-averaged density image, e.g. for planning irradiation therapy and then the sensed impulses will occur at extended intervals and can cause integrator overload. The improvement provides a pulse generator 34 which responds to a reduced scan rate, either as selected via 35 or as measured 39, by generating a succession of further transfer and reset pulses at intervals approximately equal to t starting a time t after each timing reference pulse, and accumulating, e.g. using an adding device 76 and RAM 27, all the transferred signals integrated in the interval t' between two successive slow scan reference pulses, in order to form a corresponding measurement signal. <IMAGE>

Title: Respiratory apparatus
Inventor: KUHL UWE
IPC: A61M16/16
Filed: 1984-02-20
Abstract: A respiratory apparatus comprises, in the direction of flow of gas, a high frequency valve (3), a respiratory gas heater (4) and a jet outlet (5). Between the heater (14) and the outlet (5), steam from a steam generating device (10, 14) is injected via steam line (9) into a respiratory gas line (2) this injection being carried out as a function of the respiratory gas pulses.
